Low-cost　global　navigation　satellite　system　(GNSS)　receiver　terminals　are　widely　used　in　the　field　of　navigation　and　location-based　services　due　to　their　small　size,　low　weight　and　low　power　consumption.　For　users　equipped　with　low-cost　receivers　on　the　mass　market,　it　is　important　to　improve　the　performance　of　single　point　positioning　(SPP)　with　single-frequency　pseudorange　measurement.　In　this　study,　we　constructed　a　low-cost　receiver　using　a　single-frequency　receiver　module　named　u-blox　M8T,　and　a　compact　core　board　named　COM-IMX6UL.　The　receiver　is　capable　of　receiving　the　B1　signal　of　the　BeiDou　Navigation　Satellite　System　(BDS)　and　L1　signal　of　the　Global　Positioning　System　(GPS).　With　the　view　of　verifying　the　performance　of　single-frequency　GPS/BDS　single　point　positioning　(SPP)　in　practice,　we　carried　out　static　and　vehicle-mounted　kinematic　experiments　using　the　low-cost　receiver　and　evaluated　its　capability　based　on　observations　and　positioning　results.　It　is　demonstrated　that　the　GPS/BDS　SPP　can　achieve　competitive　satellite　tracking　and　positioning　performance　compared　to　the　GPS-only　and　BDS-only　SPP,　especially　when　the　receiver　was　in　a　restricted　environment.　In　the　case　of　static　experiment,　the　BDS/GPS　SPP　positioning　accuracy　is　better　than　1.5　m　and　3.0　m　in　the　horizontal　and　vertical　directions　within　the　cut-off　angle　range　of　10　degrees　to　35　degrees,　which　is　a　10　similar　to　30%　improvement　over　the　BDS-only　SPP　and　a　10　similar　to　60%　improvement　over　the　GPS-only　SPP.　In　the　case　of　the　vehicle-mounted　kinematic　experiment,　the　horizontal　positioning　accuracy　of　GPS/BDS　SPP　is　better　than　1　m　on　urban　general　roads　and　expressways,　which　is　approximately　50%　improvement　than　that　of　GPS-only　SPP.
